The Rocklopedia Fakebandica, your premier (and only) podcast on fictional bands and musicians in pop culture, discusses how two brothers from Montreal made children’s TV in the 1970s and 80s super, super, super weird. Yes, it’s time to us to cover the fake bands and fictional musicians from the world of Sid and Marty Krofft!
We were working in the lab late one night when our eyes beheld an eerie sight: Halloween/monster-themed fake bands we haven’t discussed yet! So join us for a seasonal romp through “Monster Mash,” The Munsters, The Addams Family, Mad Monster Party?, The Groovie Goolies and more!
Live from Mom’s car, it’s the Rocklopedia Fakebandica! Yes, we were so excited to see the sequel 41 years in the making, that we recorded our review live in the car on the way back from the movie theater!
Our Spinal Tap days keep rambling on as we prepare for Spinal Tap II: The End Continues, out this weekend! We’re looking at other fake band mockumentaries, including The Last Polka, Fear of a Black Hat, The Life and Hard Times of Guy Terrifico, and Electric Apricot: Quest for Festeroo.

The Rocklopedia Fakebandica, the best and only podcast on fictional bands & musicians, is proud to present our long unawaited SPINAL TAP episode!
Just after inventing the fake band legend that is Spinal Tap, Michael McKean, Christopher Guest, and Harry Shearer invented The Folksmen, a parody of early 1960s folk music groups. They first appeared on Saturday Night Live in 1984, and finally appeared in a feature length film in 2003, A Mighty Wind.
